ALAMITY
What does one do when they wake up in a universe they barely understood-a world ripped straight from a movie they didn't even bother paying attention to? The towering trees shimmer with bioluminescent veins, alien skies stretching endlessly above, the clear blue waters yet none of it feels familiar. It's beautiful, breathtaking even, but hollow.
Her mind claws for memories, fragments slipping through her fingers like grains of sand, scattering before she can hold on. Faces blur, voices echo faintly, and the warmth of what was once home fades like smoke in the wind. The inability to let go gnaws at her chest, a weight heavier than gravity itself.
But the world doesn't wait for grief. The air hums with life-creatures darting through glowing foliage, rivers pulsing like liquid sapphire. It's time. Time to open her eyes, to breathe in this strange new reality, and move forward. Because standing still means drowning in the past, and here, survival demands motion.
She takes a step. The ground feels alive beneath her feet, and for the first time, she wonders if this isn't punishment, but a chance-a terrifying, exhilarating chance to rewrite everything.
